Tribes: Ascend Sets its Sights on Marksman Update

I'm really awful with a sniper rifle in Tribes: Ascend. At high speeds, most of my shots whiff right past my target, burying themselves somewhere in the hillside. It's a bummer. But perhaps the new Marksman update will convince me to actually practice a bit. If three new awesome-looking weapons for the Pathfinder isn't enough to get me to try it out, I don't know what will. And that's not even mentioning new weapons for the Soldier or the new map for CTF Blitz.

You can read the full list of changes for the Tribes: Ascend Marksman update here. I love the addition of a speed cap on flag carriers, as I've experienced games where a particularly skilled player manages to hold it for an entire round. The change should balance that out nicely.
